Seems to me that it's an ordinary design being lifted by quality glazing, amidst other buildings of even more ordinary design with rather low quality glazing. It looks good where it is, but that doesn't necessarily make it good.
Exactly what the site needed. I disagree with the point commonly made that this needed to be an 'iconic' design, and thankfully none of those alternative designs proposed ever got up because they were all very unimpressive.
The iconic building here is the GPO not the office tower. What it needs is a timeless and understated design that compliments it, rather than one that attempts to overshadow or detract from it.
I was literally thinking the same day thing today when taking that last photo.

I daresay it looks better in real life.

I didn’t quite realise the impact that quality reflective glazing could have on a design. Lifts the design enormously.
Also the cladding panels are just the right colour/tone to complement the GPO building.

From what I can see from my office, the jump form on the core is now being dismantled. This tower has topped out.

Fark. The glazing on this building is amazing. I just wish they had kept the original podium design, sandstone finish.

There is a topping out tree on site, but I'm not sure of it's going up or coming down.
